I already post my Mako in other topics but here is my lower Hastalis from Sharktooth Hill. It´s 3.26 inches long and has some manganese nodules covering the root.

Hi,

What is the "genus" with hastalis ? The only one I know is Isurus hastalis, but I don't recognize this tooth...

Hi Coco,

Since I found it in Sharktooth Hill I assume that is Isurus Hastalis. Also I agree that seems different compared with the typical lower Isurus Hastalis, but my guess is because the tooth may be more lateral rather than frontal.

Well here is my ticket, a 3 1/4 inch Hastalis I dug last Friday at Ernst Quarry's. Thought it was a meg for a second when I first found it and only slightly disappointed when I realized it was a 3+ mako.

Yes, I had to purchase this one. I spent years looking for teeth around the Calvert Cliffs, but unfortunately they don't get that big there.
